Day after Christmas cold weather creek
cruising with the HCR crew. Wet rock had
the guys slipping and shafts a snapping.
Our northern day was shortened to just one
trail as our spare parts supply became
scarce.

Part One of a great weekend away from
everything but rocks, stars, and good
camp-fire company. This trail was a
undercut waterfall stack-up. Minor
breakage was a pleasant surprise as the 10
vehicle show continued on for the better
part of the day.

Choose your own adventure for lockers and
open alike. We had five out for this half
day adventure. Find the trail or find the
rocks- just don't forget your code word
and extra parts if they fight back. Desert
scenery and old mines dot the landscape
along the way.

Nothing beats an eleven Jeep Caravan
snaking through the green Arizona desert.
Add some hill climbs, some narrow canyon
walls, and finish it all off with
lunch with your feet in the river
and you'll have the very definition of
what Saturdays should be.

When is a waterfall too big? The Higher
Ground extreme crew set out to find out if
AA would claim another Jeep back flop. We
camped under the moon and then hit the
trail in the morning. One casualty had
this trail living at least up to its name.
